Should we switch to Substack?

There are still important things that we, in the actual trade in electronics reuse and recycling, can share. But if Google is de-platforming its own blogspot platform, I have to consider moving this entire discussion to Substack.

The risk is that we lose the 30-55 average blogspot views (way down from 2015) and have an unviewed substack. Substack is not showing up in my page 1 Google searches, there's probably a riff (maybe Google is "protecting" blogspot while another wing of the office is killing it?)

And here is your reward for reading this.

Reused solar panels will be tagged with these Avery Labelled stickers, with OBADA.io blockchain tracked QR codes, which Africans can scan with their mobile phones to upload photos - which have GPS location - proving it is NOT IN AGBOGBLOSHIE.

SERI: Taking a Cut of All Solar Panel Resale. Criminal Racketeering. ANAB? ANSI? Please Help.

Definition:   RACKETEERS OFFER A DECEITFUL SERVICE TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT OTHERWISE WOULDN'T EXIST.

Sustainable Electronics Recycling Institute -Formerly known as "R2 Solutions" - is in criminal racketeering territory nowadays.

They already violated ANSI and ANAB rules with Version 3, as we documented here 3 years ago. Now they are taking something - secondhand solar panels - which they have NEVER shown ANAB or ANSI they have ANY expertise or authority in, and are clearly making their monetary interests (SERI YOUR SALARY) upfront. @2019 Blog on Certification and Racketeering.

Read this. If you are certified by SERI to test solar panels for reuse, you pay them $20lk, it's fine. But if you sell the solar panels to a Solar Panel Expert Wizard - WHO HAS NEVER HEARD OF SERI OR R2 - you can only do so if SERI has issued the Solar Panel Expert Wizard a CERTIFICATE costing $20,000.

This is not allowed unless SERI gets money.
